Joey, Danielle, and I traveled to Oblong, Illinois on Sunday, December 7 to see Santa arrive on a train. Santa was traveling on the Indiana Railroad, making stops in several towns to greet the children and hear their Christmas wishes. The weather outside was about 30 degrees and several characters entertained everyone while we waited to board the train and visit Santa. While waiting in line, we saw a bear in a red Christmas outfit, Rudolph, Buzz Lightyear, the Gingerbread Man, Spiderman and a few others. It took about 20 minutes in line to get onto the train. The train was beautifully decorated inside with snowflakes hanging from the ceiling, several Christmas trees, Mrs. Claus, and of course, Santa Claus!
We spent several days visiting with family. Dani's favorite person is her pa-pa. I think she may also qualify as his favorite person -besides my mom :)
Joey, Dani, and I also spent a few days visiting with my Aunt Jan. The kids got to bake Christmas cookies with her. One of Joey's favorite activities is helping in the kitchen, so he really enjoyed this. We also took a drive out into the country (by the looks of my vehicle, it looked like we went four-wheeling) to look at a house that was extremely decorated for Christmas.
Our way home included a stop at my Aunt Wanda's house for a family luncheon. The ham and beans were delicious and we got to see several family members. Then it was a 3 hour ride home to see Mike after four days away.Danielle is crying right now (ready for dinner and mom not paying attention to her), so I'll have to quit posting for now and go check our dinner. Merry Christmas!
